A Mother Blessing (also referred to as a blessingway) is a gathering organized to celebrate the future mother or parent.
This sacred celebration is a grounding time to honor you, whether it's your first baby or not. Typically done in the third trimester, this gathering surrounds you with the people who you feel closest to and it serves as a symbolic rite of passage. |
Every mother blessing is co-created in a unique and thoughtful way to celebrate the mother-to-be the way she would best like to be celebrated. In our ceremonies, we include different rituals and add-ons to represent the stages of a mother blessing and to fully honor the mother-to-be in the most meaningful ways.
Our mother blessings are compassionately and skillfully facilitated by Kim Popovitch and Nancy Doherty, hosted at Wellness Village NH in Manchester, NH. Allison Morgan, founder of Holistic Birth & Beyond, works on coordination, creation and preparation for your gathering. Mother blessings have the opportunity to be non-denominational or reflect a spiritual or religious journey of your choice; this is an open-minded, co-created and inclusive event with the mother-to-be at its center.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Is this like a traditional baby shower?
Mother blessings are different than the traditional baby shower as they do not focus on gift giving and the baby arriving soon. During a mother blessing, the future mother is the focus and all in attendance are fully present and ready to nurture her in preparation for birth.
How can I personalize the ceremony for me?
We have the ability to co-create the ceremony you desire. We know that decorations and theming can be a special piece to the puzzle. We have different color options & themes prepared. Our team is eager to have the space prepared in a way that will help you feel more connected, comforted and inspired.
